The Fallen ➵Lahey

//In which she misses him//

Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water

"Layla, do you want some pizza?" my mom asks while I sit on the couch watching Castle. "No thanks" I say quietly.

Ever since the night I blew up on my mom our relationship has been a bit rocky. I haven't seen Isaac since that night and it's been ...four months? I don't think he's coming back but I guess it's okay. Lydia and I don't really talk anymore.

She likes talking to Allison. I have spent my whole summer watching Netflix, eating. gaining weight and working it off. Scott and Stiles have been doing their own thing.

It's basically like I don't exist anymore which I could care less because I have my new best friend Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream to comfort me.

"Are you excited for your first day of Junior year tomorrow?" my mom asks as she sits next to me. "Not really" I say and she shrugs.

"Well Lydia seems excited" she comments. "I bet she does" I whisper as I get up. "I'm not feeling so well so I'm just gonna go to bed" I say heading upstairs.

I shut the door to my room and turn to see Prada sleeping in my bed. I smile as I walk over to my closet. I grab a white sweater and a pair of black leggings. I set them on my desks so that I have something to wear tomorrow.

I lay in my bed and pull Prada closer to me. "I guess it's just you and I now" I whisper closing my eyes.

"You can do this" I whisper to myself as I look in the mirror. The girl I see looks so different then she did four months ago. I've lost a few pounds, my makeup is lighter and natural. My hair longer and full of more life but my emotions are more sadden then they were before.

I slip on my black pumps and grab my bag. I walk down the stairs to see some guy in a leather jacket. "I had a great time last night" he says going to kiss me but I swerve around him.

"Wrong sister, buddy" I say patting his shoulder as he wears a look of confusion.I walk outside to my car and drive to school.

I turn up the radio as I drive and tap my thumbs against the steering wheel. I park my car in the school parking lot and quickly make my way out of my car.

I walk pass a bunch of students as I get a bunch of stares but I just smile and strut. Lydia always says if you have all the attention, put it to use.

"Well if it isn't my favorite Martin" I hear as I open my locker. "And if it isn't my favorite Gay best friend" I say looking at Danny and he smiles.

"Let's hope it stays that way" he says hugging me and I laugh. "No one can ever compete with you bunny boo" I say kissing his cheek.

"What did you do over the Summer?" Danny asks and I shrug. "I did a lot of things. I went shopping, met this hot swimsuit model, Flavio. I also worked out a lot" I lie and he laughs.

"The only thing that was actually believable from that statement was the shopping part" he says and I glare as I stick the middle finger at him.

He goes to grab it but I pull away quickly. "Nobody won your heart this summer?" he asks and I roll my eyes. "Well damn Romeo, don't start getting all poetic on me" I say patting his chest.

"I don't need a guy when I have you, my handsome bunny boo" I tease as I pinch his cheeks and he does his adorable little smile.

"You better stop before everyone starts yelling OTP" he says yelling the last part and burst into laughter. "What would I do without you?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I know what you can do with me" he says and I raise my brows. "And what would that be?" I ask. " help you get a guy" he says and I laugh.

"I'm serious. There's a new pair of twins and I'm thinking that one is gay. So one for you and one for me" he says and I smile. "We'll see about it" I say patting his chest and walking off to class.

I walk into English to and take the seat infront of Stile. I avoid Lydia and Stiles though. Allison goes to sit in the seat beside me which is infront of Lydia but some guy takes it and the only seat available is the one in front of Scott.

Apparently they broke up, for real this time. Everyone's phones start vibrating and ringing including mine but i just turn mine off.

"The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds and the tranquil waterway, leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky, seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness."The teacher reads from her phone as she walks into the class.

"This is the last line to the first book we are going to read. It is also the last text you will receive in this class. Phones off, everyone" she says as she walks over to the board.

I look around the class hoping that maybe I'll spot Isaac but no sign of him. I slump down in my seat and start to write down what's on the board.

"Layla" I hear Stiles whisper my name but I ignore him. "Layla" he whispers again. "I know you hear me" he says and then kicks me making me yelp.

"What the hell do you want?" I ask turning to face him and he smiles. "How was your Summer?" he asks.

"It was shit now let me learn" I say facing the board as I watch Scott leave the class.. "Hey, Lydia" Stiles whispers and I roll my eyes.

I continue writing until I hear something hit the window and turn to see blood. Ms.Blake walks over to the window as we hear a bunch of birds squawking. A bunch of birds starts flying into the windows breaking the glass and entering the class.

"Get down, everyone"Ms.Blake yells and i jump down and hide under my desk. I look behind me to make sure my sister and Stiles are okay.

I feel a bird pecking at my leg and I smack it off. After a few the birds stop and we all stand up to see a bunch of dead birds everywhere and the desks scattered around.

I just stand in shock. One minute I'm standing and the next a paramedic is bandaging my forehead. "You okay?" he asks and I nod. "Well you have a minor cut but I suggest clean in it daily so it doesn't get infected' he says and I nod as I hop off of a desk.

"You okay?" Stiles asks and I nod as I laugh a little. Isaac is usually the one to ask me that. "I need to get home" I say stumbling out the class. Welcome to another school year of hell.
